Artist Profile
kennedy+swan
The duo kennedy+swan (founded in 2013) explores the future of non-human intelligence and its impact on plants, animals, machines, and humans. These utopias are liberated from human supremacy, illuminating the ecological benefits of hybrid life forms, and addressing the twisted relationship between humans and biotechnology. Recent works reflect upon the exponential rise of Artificial Intelligence and its impact on biology. They live in Berlin.

shut up and calculate!
How can diametrically opposed states exist simultaneously in superposition? How can one particle communicate its state to another faster than the speed of light?
These questions inspire kennedy+swan’s new video: In it, Schrödinger's cat hovers between the North Pole, a bourgeois apartment, and Irish nature, philosophizing about its own paradoxical states of consciousness. Through their imagery, they create metaphors for the ambivalent feelings the quantum world leaves within us.
